Re Orkambi / Kalydeco this article is good:
https://cysticfibrosisnewstoday.com/2018/11/19/cystic-fibrosis-bittersweet-downside-cftr-modulators-orkambi-kalydeco-ivacaftor-lumacaftor-tezacaftor-symdeko/?amp

It seems that so far it has been shown to be effective in select patients (with the specific gene defects) if taken early enough, ie at a young age, before the damage has been done. Most adults in this generation have far reaching damage already done, and Orkambi might add on extra months, in some cases years, to life, but the disease has ravaged the lungs so much already that severe deterioration sepsis and death can set in quite suddenly.

And health & safety regulations being over-imposed which limited the crowds. I would most happily have gone only that I heard the tickets had “sold-out”. I was away from the scene (under de emergency knife in hotspittle) when they were made available and as soon as I was in action, found there were none left.
When selling air tickets all the airlines deliberately allow a certain degree of overbooking knowing fully that even with a non-refundable air fare there are invariably avnumber of no-shows, for unavoidable reasons (family sickness, Fateen’s favourite-de death, and change of job, interviews coming up, exams to be repeated, and other imperatives that favour abandoning travel plans. For free events there is going to be an even higher number of no-shows, when people balance “should I go to Pope’s visit when Unvle John is coming over from Enhland that day,: ah no I’ve not paid a red cent, I’ll stay home to be be there when he arrives in.”

On a longer “vacation” than usual.

On a totally different topic (that of chatboards generally speaking) I could hazard a guess somebody “that matters” somewhere in “high” places has found cause to be “seriously offended” by the tone of posts somebody has made somewhere on some forum on some chatboard.

Just listened back and I have to admit that piece about Fergal made me cry for his poor parents. To lose 3 children to this disease must be unbearable.

CF is a bigger problem in Ireland per head of capita than it is in most of Europe so it is something we need to put money into researching.

When my youngest was a baby she was failing to thrive and they suspected it so she was admitted to Our Ladys in a ward with CF sufferers and I have to say it was heartbreaking to see, it really is a miserable life from the time their born. There has to be a way of removing this from our genes.

Obviously then a popular area of de water sports, so to speak, in era of abandonment when de baths weren’t a place for fully developed humans to swim, as opposed to their initial components.
